Description
An innovation project led by ASOCHAMP, which also includes AIMPLAS, INGELIA, and SAV. The main objective is to reduce the waste generated by the mushroom industry (spent substrate and agricultural film) and its subsequent recovery.
Objectives
- Valorization of the post-cultivation substrate to obtain advanced char as a high added value product and its subsequent validation for use as an amendment/fertilizer in agricultural soils and as a covering material in mushroom cultivation.
- Replacing film with sustainable compostable plastic solutions through physical modifications for mushroom and champignon cultivation
Results
- Obtaining advanced char from exhausted substrate residue, improving the environmental performance of mushroom cultivation through the application of advanced char, and improving the profitability of farms.
- Generation of different compostable films
- Study of the useful life of growing films under real working conditions and validation of compostability at the end of their useful life.
